The Book

How it Works

Built on the science of behavioral psychology, this journal helps you establish powerful morning and evening routines of Mindfulness & Gratitude, Reflective Practice, and Measurable Progress toward your goals of flourishing and happiness. Studies have shown that people who regularly practice this method of structured journaling develop a more positive outlook, increase self-confidence, and grow in self-awareness and achieve what they never thought possible.

Daily Mindfulness & Gratitude

You will start each morning journal entry with a brief mindfulness exercise. Mindfulness exercises like these have shown to greatly reduce your daily stress-load and improve your mood and cognitive functioning.

Once you are refreshed and recollected, you will be prompted to think about something you are grateful for that morning. This exercise will help you learn to see with eyes of gratitude. Daily cultivating gratitude has scientifically proven benefits for your mood and relationships.

You will also begin each evening journal entry with the brief evening mindfulness exercise in order to recollect yourself and clear your mind of all distractions at the end of the day. This will allow you to review the events of your day with clarity and calm.

Reflective Practice

You will grow in self-awareness and gain insight into your inner motivations, habits, and behavior patterns, by reflecting on the successes and challenges of each day, and making resolutions become actions.

After reaffirming your specific resolution each morning, you will identify the basic skill or virtue you are going to work on in various ways throughout the day. Naming this goal helps set the tone for your day into a growth mindset ready to face any challenge.

You will have the opportunity to non-judgmentally assess where you’ve fallen short of your resolution and goals, and also where you’ve triumphed and flourished. You can be vulnerable and authentic with yourself in this exercise so that in loving self-acceptance you can plan concrete steps to make progress in the future.

Track Your Progress

Every seven days you will have the opportunity to look back over the past week and see the progress you’ve made, and take notice of the areas still in need of growth. You may notice certain patterns or trends. Thisvaluable step in self-knowledge is important for you to be able to focus on successful progress and measurable outcomes in your journey toward flourishing.

You will also have time to take a look at the upcoming seven days still before you. This exercise will help you become more proactive about meeting any possible challenges that may come up during the week, and to plan ahead of time how to skillfully overcome them.

Set Your Own Goals and Commit to Becoming a Better You

A Journal for People Who Don't Like to Journal

Some people find journaling a difficult habit to acquire or keep up with, because when you just have blank pages in front of you it can be hard to think of what to write. Like so many things in life, oftentimes just getting started each day is the greatest difficulty.

That's why this journal is different. We've laid out clear and concrete prompts following logical steps for each day. Each of these steps is designed to help you grow in self-awareness, self-knowledge, and to accompany you day by day as a guide on the journey to becoming a better you.
